Nah they actually are Native Americans or at least some are. 4 NAs Redskins fans approached me (was wearing Skins gear) that work at the Casino Del Sol and one of them said she joined that group. They were all pissed about the multiple name and logo changes that occurred in 2020 saying it was a bunch of white assholes saying what is good for them. That said NAGA do have/had a MAGA NA running their twitter who undermined their efforts.

Im aware. She is a nut bag. Also of all the things NA’s have to be pissed about it is the name of a football team? Something off about that.

Edit: did not mean to say there are no NA’s. I worded that poorly. What I meant is that it is being controlled by the far right. They are using NA’s to make it seem like the moral injustice is coming from the “woke” crowd. Again up is down and black is white.

Anyway probably straying into politics although I think that it is completely tied into all this. But, anyway, change the name. Commanders isn’t growing on me. I still cannot say it to friends or family. I just say Washington.

Eunice wasn't the one I met it was a Yaqui in AZ. That said of course they have reason to be mad the non-NA Redskins fans were furious about the change so why shouldn't the NA Redskins fans be as well? And since there were a lot more NA Redskin fans than the 9% of NAs that supported or pushed for the change we now have more angry NAs than we had before over the name.

Oh and yes it was a moral injustice that came from the woke crowd. The name was forced to be changed under an incorrect understanding of the term Redskins how it was used and where it came from, Much of the justification was based on deliberate fabrications or cowardice. An analogy would be a mob hanging an innocent man despite all the evidence showing he was innocent.

Agreed. When I grew up in very rural Northern Michigan in the 80's we had basic television, but only got the Packers and the Lions games. I had some friends that lived at the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community and they had a big old satellite system for the community center. Redskins football was a way of life there, so when the Redskins played, approx. 70% of their community gathered at the community center to watch the game. I was lucky enough to have a standing invitation due to my love of the team and having friends in the community. Everyone there had Redskins gear! If the Redskins lost or someone got injured during the game they flew the Redskins flag and their tribal flag that was right next to it at half mast until the next game day. I know for a fact that most of them are/were extremely pissed about the name change!

Sad really. Those are the stories we don't hear as much. The ones with those stories just aren't as loud as the woke crowd.
